Umbilical arterial (UA) Doppler assessment is used in surveillance of fetal well-being in the third trimester of pregnancy. Abnormal umbilical artery Doppler is a marker of uteroplacental insufficiency and consequent intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or suspected pre-eclampsia.
Recent studies have found that surveillance of high-risk fetuses with umbilical artery Doppler ultrasound results in a marked decrease in fetal death and morbidity when compared to traditional surveillance (non-stress test).
